To say that Emma Watson is having a good year is an understatement, with the live-action version of Disney'sBeauty and the Beast already grossing over $1.1 billion at the box office around the globe.

Next up she stars in the sci-fi thriller, The Circle, based on Dave Eggers 2013 novel of the same name, alongside the likes of John Boyega, Ellar Coltrane, Karen Gillan, Patton Oswalt, Bill Paxton (in his final film appearance) and Hollywood legend Tom Hanks.

When she lands a dream job at the leading tech and social media company, she starts to rise through the ranks and is encouraged by the company's co-founder (played by Tom Hanks) to participate in a groundbreaking experiment.

She soon discovers there may be a far more nefarious purpose behind this experiment that pushes the boundaries of ethics, privacy, surveillance and her own personal freedom, which may affect the future of those closest to her and all humanity.

These eye-catching movie billboards for The Circle were snapped along Pico Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard on April 18, 2017.

With Congressional Republicans recently signing over citizens rights to their own internet search histories to internet providers to sell to the highest bidder, this film certainly seems timely when it comes to privacy, so let's hope that the secrets of The Circle make for compelling (and not too depressing) viewing.
